I was reading through the jottings on my Facebook page and one of my friends left this comment...
"If you want to feel rich, just count all of the things you have that money can't buy. on ♥."
Kind of makes you step back and re-think everything you ever thought what you wanted out of life. What does it take to be rich and how do you feel after making a purchase?? Personally, the minute I hand over the credit card, the rush is over. I'm thinking of the next thing that I want to buy. And did you notice, I didn't say... need to buy. So, today, seeing that it is a rainy one, maybe it is the perfect day to make a list of everything you have at the moment that has nothing to do with shopping or accumulating things...
Come to think about it, I think that I have a book on my shelf... sounds familiar doesn't it. I have hundreds of books that I don't think about until something reminds me. I can't remember who wrote it but it was about enjoying the simple things in life.
Did I ever tell you about my love of dandelions?? Most people hate them, but as a little girl, seeing a yard full of dandelions meant that summer had arrived and there was nothing quite as summer on a lake! Ahh, the memories and...
DANDELIONS DON'T COST YOU A PENNY ;)

Thoughts and Quotes About Rainy Mornings, Oatmeal Muffins and Dads
It's another rainy morning. Actually, the rain began somewhere around four in the morning I think and it hasn't let up and it's nearly ten a.m. ! The rain is supposed to continue all day today and into tomorrow as well. I'm not sure how that makes me feel. Part of me thinks of rainy days as depressing, but then already I have accomplished so much. I have a muffin mix already to add the liquid ingredients and bake... and I also have a baking powder biscuit mix measured out. Yes, I do everything in two stages.
The longest part is the prep so I like to get that out of the way. On any given day I have at least four different muffin mixes dated and prepared and waiting in the baking cupboard to go whenever someone fancies muffins. With our schedule... we have to have them ready to go. Today it's oatmeal muffins and I might have to add an egg and a little milk. Gee, I hope that I have an egg. Must check so I can email G (dh) to tell him to bring me some home if need be.

"I like to fish this lake during sustained dry periods. When it gets rainy, the lake turns into chocolate. "
Jeff Rowland
I think that I like this one and every time it rains, I will think of all those lakes that turn into chocolate! Love it lol!! Now the fishing part... not much of a fisherman here, but I do remember collecting worms with my dad so that we could go fishing. When you are six, you don't realize that worms are disgusting lol... that came later. When you are six and you are doing things with your dad... it's just plain fun!
